A user sharing their experience applied in Jakarta, highlighting a hassle-free process, while another advised checking if Wise is accepted by consulates due to its non-bank status.

Wise is not a bank so may not be accepted by all consulates

Is it advisable to keep funds in a Thai bank or use Wise for a DTV application in Manila or Jakarta?
